[PATCH v7 03/41] KVM: arm64: Return early from kvm_finalize_sys_regs() if guest has run

If the guest has already run, we have no business finalizing the
system register state - it is too late. Therefore, check early and
bail if the VM has already run.
This change also stops kvm_init_nv_sysregs() from being called once
the RM has run once. Although this looks like a behavioural change,
the function returns early once it has been called the first time.
